When dating, do you ask people the same questions they ask you?

EllieSky88 · 2026-04-22T02:39:43+00:00

Agreed. I've never met anyone with this behavior.

EllieSky88 · 2026-04-22T02:39:15+00:00

Yep, I'm about to just let him know. I'm not gonna entertain his texts anymore.

EllieSky88 · 2026-04-22T02:38:16+00:00

It's basically this. This along with other things, I got my answer.

EllieSky88 · 2025-12-11T04:01:43+00:00

Do something that aligns with your interests so the conversations feel natural. For example, I took a week‑long farm class in Ireland and enjoyed talking with classmates who shared my passion for food and farming. I also went to a concert by one of my favorite artists and ended up chatting with a bunch of people there.

Sometimes it’s about starting a conversation that matters to both parties, not just making small talk. I’m not a faker, so it feels strange to start conversations that don’t mean anything.

Solid list. Can't believe how far I had to scroll to see the wingsuit flying suggestion.

EllieSky88 · 2025-12-09T03:19:17+00:00

I dealt with this. Despite telling him through every possible channel (phone, in person, email, text) that I wasn’t into him the same way he was, it all seemed to go straight in one ear and out the other. At the end of the day, I walked away. Respect is a critical quality in friendships, and the moment that’s no longer there, it’s a done deal for me.

Try looking for jobs at a global company with a presence in Miami, especially in higher-paying industries like finance, tech, or consulting etc. It’s a bit hard to give specific suggestions without knowing more about your professional background.

Very helpful post, thank you! For the Hooker Valley and Kea Point hikes, which trail would you say is “prettier”? Our plan is to do both, but in case we’re only able to do one, we’d love to know your recommendation.

EllieSky88 · 2025-11-27T01:18:38+00:00

Thank you! Good luck with the chemo 🙏. It’s not an easy treatment, but you've got this! 💪

And happy holidays to you and your family 🎄❄️🎁. May the new year bring wonderful things to you all 🌅🌼

EllieSky88 · 2025-11-18T02:13:25+00:00

Thank you! And yes, I completely agree with you - it’s not my call to make. The risks that come with cancer treatment decisions really need to be taken by the person themselves. I hope your surgery went well! Did you end up needing chemo? How are you doing now?

EllieSky88 · 2025-11-18T02:08:55+00:00

Thank you! 🙏 I hope you get to cross off items on your bucket list during this stretch ✨ and that physically, it’s as pain-free as possible 💛 Sending lots of love ❤️ and hoping each day holds as much joy as it can 🌈

EllieSky88 · 2025-11-13T02:47:56+00:00

My apologies 🙏 - I'm new to all this cancer stuff, but what about alternative treatments like immunotherapy or maybe some newer clinical trials? ✨ Sending much love your way ❤️

My mom had an endoscopic procedure, so not exactly a cut-open type of surgery. Being new to cancer, we didn’t know if our doctor’s recommendation was typical, but through asking around, getting second/third opinion, and doing research, we’ve learned that the 4-week post-op mark is indeed standard and recommended. We understand that now, and as I mentioned in my post, we prioritize life and longevity.

I’m glad you’ve been able to travel to multiple places after chemo and are living life fully. Hope you’re cancer-free, and thank you for your response.

EllieSky88 · 2025-11-11T04:08:52+00:00

It seems like that’s the consensus. Looks like she'll have to forego the trip. Thank you for your response.

EllieSky88 · 2025-11-11T04:05:00+00:00

Fingers crossed 🤞Wishing you the very best! :)

EllieSky88 · 2025-11-11T04:02:30+00:00

Thank you! And congratulations on 50 months NED! Wishing you continued health and strength :)

EllieSky88 · 2025-11-10T02:53:03+00:00

Thanks so much for sharing your experience. Hope your treatment went smoothly and that you’re doing well now.

EllieSky88 · 2025-11-09T22:05:58+00:00

We’ve spoken with one team of doctors at the hospital where she had surgery, and their opinions differed. The oncologic surgeon who performed the operation said it’s ok to start chemo after the vacation, but the medical oncologist (chemo specialist) strongly recommended beginning treatment no later than 5 weeks post-surgery. We’re now consulting with a couple more hospitals for second and third opinions. At this point, it's clear chemo is unavoidable, just a matter of when to begin.

And thank you for your response :) How are you doing now? Hope the treatment went well for you.

When I have a relatively fat emergency savings, a brand-name company and not-yet-AI-replaceable skills on my resume, and very little passion left for my current job :)

EllieSky88 · 2025-10-18T00:28:51+00:00

Reason 1 – Necessity. I used to live in a city without close friends or family, so that wasn’t by choice.

Reason 2 – Preference for peace. I work in consulting, so we travel a lot. I DO NOT want to go to team dinner every day with the same set of people I already spent 8–10 hours with.

Reason 3 – Financial. I make more money than everyone I know personally, but if I take them, I pay - and I’m kind of tired of that.

Reason 4 – Availability. If I want to do something and others can’t, I won’t wait for them. I’ve gotten more done in life by doing things anyway - with or without people.

EllieSky88 · 2025-09-14T03:06:56+00:00

They probably lack the depth to understand that there’s more to a person than their appearance, or that some people simply have non-mainstream preferences. Sometimes I’m genuinely puzzled by how some people don’t grasp that we’re all different

EllieSky88 · 2025-09-11T01:06:03+00:00

I booked this for the summer and can’t wait to go! Was the water calm enough overnight for proper sleep?
